Just Markup

Hydejack boasts a plethora of modern JavaScript, but make no mistake: It’s still a plain old web page at its core. It works without JavaScript, and you can even view it in a text-based browser like w3m:

Change the wording of built-in strings and possibly translate in other languages

Support for categories and tags

Built-in icons for many social networks

Simple and semantic HTML

Structured Data for core entities

Author section below each article and support for multiple authors

Google Analytics and Google Fonts support

Disqus comments

Download

There are two versions of Hydejack: The free version includes basic blogging functionality, as did previous versions of the theme. The PRO version includes additional features for professionals: A portfolio, a resume layout, and a welcome page to highlight your favorite projects and posts.

You MAY open an issue on GitHub, but no response and/or fix is guaranteed. You understand that using Jekyll requires technical know-how and is not comparable to Wordpress in terms of ease of use. Please use the free version to confirm that Hydejack works for you. For details, see the PRO license. ↩︎
